I have an embroidery sewing/embroidery combo, but not the Gidget. I have used mine on a 6' folding table and the thing shook like crazy. I took most of the shake out, by placing a 1/2" plywood piece on top of the 6' table. The plywood is 4' x 2'. It's amazing how much this helped and it was only about $15 at one of the Home Depot's or Lowe's. If you want to try this, with what you have now, buy the already cut piece, keep your receipt, and if it doesn't work, take it back for a refund. Much cheaper than the Gidget.

edited to add: Not all embroidery combo machines are the same size and weight. My combo is a Brother Innovis 4000. It weighs about 40 lbs without the embroidery apparatus and hoop, and can sew 1000 stitches a minute. It is similar in size to the Bernina 830 and Brother Elegante.
